KIMBALL. Levy According to Engine Power, Sen.

Kimball Proposal Would Compel Counties to Use Money for Hard Roads. Topeka, Feb. 14. Taxing automobiles according to their horse power and requiring counties to engage in permanent highway construction or not get the benefits of half of, the revenue derived from the. automobile tax, are the sweeping provisions of a bill introduced in the senate yesterday by Paul H.

Kimball, of Labette. The passage of the bill would practically treble the income derived from automobile owners and Kimball believes it would prove the-greatest permanent highway stimulus the state has ever known. Under the present law every automobile owner required to pay five dollars 'a year for his license Of this sum four dollars and fifty cents is kept by the county to be used in general road work without any provisions for permanent road building and the balance is sent to the secretary of state for the purpose of. paying the expenses of maintaining the automobile department. The Kimball bill provides that owners of cars pay 50 cents a year on every horse power of their engines and that all of the money be sent in to the state officials.

Enough to run the automobile department will be retained and the balance will be placed in special funds to be returned to the counties. It is provided one-half of the amount to be returned may be used in general road "work, but the other half will be returned the county from which it came only upon the condition that it be spent in permanent highway construction. In the event a county is not engaged in permanent highway construction it is provided that the money to be used for this purpose may be apportioned among the counties that are so engaged.

Kimball believes this feature will encourage and stimulate every county in the state to highway construc The home of Hart Schaffner Marx good clothes and up-to-date Furnishings.

Seagle and tlie Negro The song3 we love best are-those associated "with So to Oscar Seagle, who was raised in the South, no songs make a greater appeal than the negro spirituals. These expressions born "of the travail of the slave's life and filled with the hopes and fears, the longings afcd! desires of the servile race are, in the estimation of many critics, America's greatest contribution to the world's music' For a number of years Seagle has wanted to place these songs, upon his recital program, but until this past spring it has been an impossibility because the singer had been unable to Secure arrangements of them suitable for recital work. At that time, however, H. Burleigh, the negro composer, furnished him with arrangements of a half a dozen or so. He sung them first in Brooklyn, N.

and has included them in every program he has given since. Their success was instantaneous and hag been tremendous. They are the sort of songs that not only appeal to the hearer's emotions but even set his feet shuffling. Chanute folk who are fortunate enough to hear Mr. Seagle a week from tonight at the Presbyterian Church will enjoy three of these real American songs.

They come last on his program. L. A. of 15. of R.

AUTO SHOW TO BE BIG AFFAIR Will Re Held at Convention Hall February 24 to March 1. Kansas City, Feb. 14. The biggest Automobile Show in the United States will be held this year at Kansas City, Feb. 24 to March 1.

There will be 300 exhibits this year, whereas last year there were only 250. The demand for space has been so great that it has been necessary to construct two balconies entirely around the big hall, making this a three-story show. There will be more than 250 individual cars on exhibition and the accessories will occupy twenty-five per cent more floor space than they did last year. The commercial car section will be one of the features of the show. It is expected that one of the biggest attendances ever recorded will be registered.

There will be a particular appeal in this year's motor snow to women. The motor "cars to be shown will be very practical in design. There is a noticeable absence of freak mod-els in the cars that are. now being "Sc'Gets-H' Peel Off This Oorn." leaves The Toe as Smooth as the Palm of Your Hand.

Altoona, Feb. 14. A 'horrible accident occurred in Altoona last Tuesday at about noon when the engine of a southbound freight train struck Alfred William Patterson, the nineteen-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H.

Patterson. The child died in about two hours after the accident. The Pattersons live near the railroad in the northern part of town, and the child had only a very short distance to go to get to the track. The mother missed it and when she looked out of the. house she saw it creeping up onto the rail.

At about that time the train approached and before she could get to the baby, the train struck it and knocked it to one side, injuring its head severely. The mother witnessed the. horrible affair. The train stopped and a traveling man, who was a passenger on the train, carried the little form into, the house. This is the only child of Mr.

and Mrs. Patterson and was born July 1, .1917, at their farm, east of Altoona, where they resided at that Rime. BRANT CAFE TO REOPEN TOMORROW EQUIPPED WITH HANDSOME SANITARY FIXTURES.

mm si U. S. to Absorb Deficit. Emporia, Feb. 14.

Officials of the Kansas State Normal School and the College of Emporia have been informed that any deficit resulting from the S. A. T. C. undertaking will be absorbed by the government.

The government allowed the institutions 75 cents a day for maintenance, 25 cents for housing and 35 cents for instruction for each soldier-student. The total S. A. T. C.

bill at the College of Emporia was 18,616.96 or about $1,000 more than the original government allowance; that at the state normal was or approximately the amount allowed by the government in the original contract. The original per diem was based on a year's estimate that is, that whatever extra expense for housing and furnishings that a school had to outlay in the beginning would be absorbed by the time the S. C. had run a year. A Paramount Issue.

Topeka, Feb. 14. The Bergen bank bill, which provides for the establishment of a state reserve bank operated by the states bank commissioner, promises to become the "paramount issue" for discussion before the meeting of the State Bankers' Association which will be held here February, 19 and 20. Copies of the bill have been sent to all the bank ers of the state and many of the senators have received letters on the bank bill. The association includes practically every banker in the state.

Numerous speakers have been announced to address the convention on the bank bill. Historic Camouflage. Atchison, Feb. 14. It was not known as "camouflage" way in 1862, but nevertheless "the art" was most effectively applied in that year to stop a confederate drive across the Missouri river from East Atchison.

A section of rusty stovepipe was rigged up hurriedly pn a pair of wagon wheels with such a resemblance of a cannon that the pursuing confederates believed it was enuine and turned and fled. The recent death of Henry Potter, 85 years old, in the Old Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth recalls the story often told by himself. He was the last surviving member of the Joseph Potter family which settled in Atchison county in 1854 and founded the town of Potter. According to this story, the opening of the war found Henry Potter working on a farm in Buchanan county. being one of several strong Union men in the neighborhood.

One night the Confederate element organized a mob to lynch the Union sympathizers, but the latter escaped and fled for the Atchison ferry with the confederates in pursuit. They had just reached the Kansas side when the confederates appeared on the opposite shore and also started to cross. Potter and his companions found a long section pf rusty stove pipe and an abandoned-pair of wagon wheels along the levee. Hastily mounting- the pipe on the wagon running gears, they rolled it triumphantly towards the river shore and "trained" it on the men across the river. Thinking it genuine the pursuers beat a hasty retreat to the cottonwood timber near East Atchison.

Potter and his party then went up the river to. Elwood, crossed to St. Joseph and enlisted in the Fifth Missouri cavalry of the Union army. -He saw service in a number of battles including Hickory Point and Slough Creek, under' General Harvey. 3.

12 (by mail). The fact that one British warship penetrated the guard patrol nf the German high seas fleet after the battle of Jutland and laid mines to cut off their retreat has-just been disclosed. The information became public thru the presentation to a Lawford church of a flag of the warship Ab-diel, of 1,556 tons and a speed of forty knots. The inscription accompanying the flag testifies that the Abdiel "slipped thru the redoubled guards of patrols on the night of the battle of Jutland, May 31-June 1 1916, and laid a great series of mines close to the German fleet, blocking the entrance of their retreating ships into the harbor. This dangerous night's work," adds the inscription, "was completely carried out and the havoc among the German ships was so great that their crews mutinied and refused to go out.

again." The white ensign presented to the. church was flown by the Abdiel in the Jutland battle. INDIANS INVENT- ED CAMOUFLAGE This Is Claim Now By Chief Strongheart. Chicago, Feb. 14.

"Camouflage is as old as the storm God of Indian folk said Chief Strongheart, who recently returned from France where he is credited with having done more for the fighting traditions of his race than any other American Indian. "The Indians were the true inventors of camouflage," said the chief, who will go to his Yakima reservation in Washington state after a brief eastern visit. "They discovered its advantages in their earliest conflicts. When a battle was take place in a forest in the summer months, the warriors would paint their bodies green, with a dash of other colors to produce the exact blend with surroundings They even sketched birds and small animals on their bodies to make the effect more realistic. If the battle was to take place when autumn had withered the leaves and touchen into gold, splash-' es of brown and yeliow made tlie wariors blend with, the setting.

"The trick, when artfully turned, resulted in great victories. Many, early settlers were taken into captivity by use of. camouflage. "The French were quick to visualize its enormous advantages in the war just closed and promptly carried the art to its peak." Chief Strongheart was rejected by the army because as a leader of Indian scouts in the service of the United States in Mexico in 1910, he received a shot in the leg in a skirmish with Mexicans. Before being wounded he killed two Mexicans and took seven prisoners.

Realizing his unfitness for military duty, the chief toured America for army recruits. After an address in front of the New York public library one day 233 men enlisted. Two hundred more volunteered in New Jersey and Massachusetts. Heading due west from New York, he spoke in large cities for the liberty loan and war stamp drives. During his campaigns he wore his.

native dress, including the headteathers. Chief Strongheart said that 18,000 American Indians went to France with the American expeditionary force, most of them serving as scouts. He cited an incident where five Indians enabled the Americans to Rapture 13,000 prisoners. Running Elk, Strongheart's father, was scout for General O. O.

Howard in the Nez war and aid to Colonel Roosevelt in the Spanish-American war; and Strongheart, when a baby, was carried about on the former president's back. His grandfather was Chief Standing Rock, who took part in "Custer's Last Fight," and who died at the age of 109 years. Phone 76 and 77 for every thing in the market for your "Sunday dinner, whatever market afford, we will have Order early. -John A. Carter.

tion and one'ot the big features of the bill, he says, is the fact that-it will be possible to use the. license tag money for highway construction at once. Under the plans of the State Good Roads association provid ing for a constructional amendment that would permit the to engage in highway construction and use this money it would be three years before a permanent highway program could be started. Kimball does not propose to interfere with the plans of those who want the state to engage in road construction but he hopes to make It possible to go forward with the construction 'work while a constitutional change is be ing sought. AVould Triple Tax Incomes.

The horse power tax will practically triple the income derived under the present system. At present every car owner pays $5 a year while under the new system it is figured the average tax will be between' $12 and It is realized that this will be quite an item to a large number of automobile owners but as they will derive all of the benefits from it Kimball does not expect a great amount of, kicking. He also points out that it is much fairer for a man to pay a tax in proportion to the cost of his car than for a Ford and a Packard owner to have to pay the same tax. There were 184,000 license tags issued by the state automobile de-ptment during the year ending June 30, 1918, and figuring on this basis at an average tax of $12 a car the Kimball bill would give the counties of the state more than two million, dollars a year for road work, 6ne-half of which would be used in building permanent highways. However, the state department has already issued more than 190,000 tags for the year that will end on the thirtieth of next June, and it is expected tht the total will reach by that time, so the amount to be expended by the counties will be much larger.

Would Help Shawnee. Shawnee countv last vear received approximately $20,000 for rad work, anH unrior thesf fieures this county would be to $10,000 a year for the construction ot permanent highways and about the same amount for general road work. How ever, these figures wilL oe mucn enlarged by the end of next June, it is said. RAISES 600 CHICKENS After Being Relieved of Or i game Trouble by Lydia E. 1 Pinkham's Vegetable 'Compound.
